[14:30:08 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> Greetings: I"m having an issue deploying a basic hello world portlet to the latest uPortal release 3.0.1
[14:30:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> hi
[14:30:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> what is the issue?
[14:30:43 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> java.lang.IllegalStateException: Null content-type at org.apache.pluto.internal.impl.RenderResponseImpl.getWriter(RenderResponseImpl.java:163) at edu.uchicago.portlet.HelloWorldPortlet.doView(HelloWorldPortlet.java:74) at javax.portlet.GenericPortlet.doDispatch(GenericPortlet.java:247) at javax.portlet.GenericPortlet.render(GenericPortlet.java:175) at org.apache.pluto.core.PortletServlet.dispatch(PortletServlet.j
[14:31:04 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> looks like your portlet isn't setting the content type before getting the Writer
[14:31:12 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> sorry the formatting isn't that good. Basically the portlet doesn't render and it displays that error.
[14:31:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> http://portals.apache.org/pluto/portlet-1.0-apidocs/javax/portlet/RenderResponse.html#getWriter()
[14:31:53 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> I have this in my doView: PrintWriter out = res.getWriter(); out.println(getGreeting(req) + " World!");
[14:32:04 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> read the javadoc I just posted
[14:32:12 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> there are some pre-conditions to calling getWriter()
[14:33:12 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> ok. I forgot about that. I haven't written portlets for over and year and forgot about that gotcha. I do however have the content type set in the portlet.xml
[14:33:23 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> I'll give it a go. thanks for your hlep.
[14:34:17 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> setting the content type in the portlet.xml just declares which content types your portlet knows how to render
[14:34:27 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> not what it is going to render for that particular response{color}
[14:38:12 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> ok. I just added the content type and the portlet renders properly now. thanks.
[14:38:22 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> no problem
[14:38:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> glad it worked
[14:39:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> have you thought at all about coming up to Madison for the fall JASIG unconference? (I'm guessing you're in Chicago by the package names you pasted)
